A derisive synonym for "French".
Most often used by the British who despise their arrogant neighbors to the south, this term is
borne of the French disdain for personal hygiene. As an example, the Stench invented the
bidet, a device to wash your crotch, while leaving the rest of your body smelling like
rotten eggs. Go figure.
Nigel: I sat next to this
heathen on
the Chunnel train to Paris today, and I got so sick I threw up.
Winston: Why was that, mate?
Nigel: I think this disgusting tosser was Stench.
Winston:
Blimey, those people really stink.
